Speed Reducer mounted directly onto Servo Motor

[Constabulary]

This is not my idea - the pictures come from German sewing machine forum (I have permission to post them here).

For sure it depends on the servo motor it self but it this is a rather smart  idea I think wen you have (space) issues mounting the speed reducer under the table.

What do you guys think of this solution?

That looks like a great concept. Would like to be able to set mine up like that.

Thats a very nice setup. It’s also interesting how these changes are taking place, especially toward the weight of materials used or not necessarily! Being a requirement to use, compared to the past.

Where some motors we have like the venerable clutch type and such were dependent in their own strength to carry itself.

Thanks for posting

I like it, i prefer this one tho that mounts in the same holes as the servo and the servo mounts to the bottom of it...I just installed this on my adler 67-372 and it made a world of difference, i can actually turn a corner and go slow enough while still punching through heavier leather.

Re the pics posted by Constabulary from the German forum..
Looks to be a way to save space, and allow possibly easier access for changing of belts..but.I don't understand the point of using round cross section belts ( which look to be leather ? like on old pedal powered machines ) in pulleys designed to run trapezoidal section rubber / fibre composite ones with teeth..Lot of power is being lost there due to the very small area of contact on the pulley surfaces by a round belt instead of ones that fit the pulley slot profile.

the belts are not the point - that is just temporarily

[mikesc]

Ah.. that is OK then.. ;)
I have to confess I had a "temporary belt" ( bungee cord ) on one machine for 6 months! ;)

I like it! It can only work with that particular style of reducer, of course, but it's a very neat solution to mounting it.

I still run leather belts on several of my machine and have no problems with them.

I am unable to buy "M" V belts locally and I can make them in minutes if I make any changes to my set up, like change heads on one of my tables.

Nice and compact. Do you know what the reduction is?
